To be truly t2a accurate we need nightly server wars!!!

Post by George_Costanza »

Well, is it just me, or is the pvp on this shard somewhat sparse?

If we are truly trying to replicate the t2a era, why not incorporate what was the most enjoyable part of it: the nightly server war.

Seriously, I used to skip sex with my girlfriend just so that I could take place in the nightly war at the britain graveyard. The benefits of such an event are immense.

1.) Those who crave the pvp for pure bragging rights will now get to have it
2.) Those who want to practive more pvp can do so without the risk of losing their valuble possessions
3.) It will create grudges, which in turn will create more pvp and game interraction
4.) It will build relationships amongst the player database
5.) Reds who never get to use their murderer for fear of dying will be able to fight without fear
6.) It will keep players who merely want to log in once a day for pvp around
7.) It will attract more players
8.) It is a lot of mothaf*ckin fun


I know that this server has daily events but, honestly, I've never been a fan of controlled events. Nightly server wars are pure chaos and entertainment. I have never met 1 person who didn't absolutely love them.
It doesn't even have to be for an hour, why not just 30 minutes of time warp? You could even turn off the guards for britain or we could all just know to head to the graveyard.

I dont know, thats just my opinion. I see absolutely no downside to this taking place for a small fraction of each day.

We used to have this for 30 minutes but it was set down to 10 over a year ago by overwhelming player demand. It occurs every morning as 7am ET, the shard restarts at 7:10am.

The reason for the 7am restart is very much logistical for me, as it's the best time of the day for me (on weekdays anyway) to do any needed maintenance on the server that would require a reboot or other disruption.

Server Wars happened around noon for me when UO was originally released, and then bumped to like 6 or 7am. I'd hardly call that nightly

If I am not mistaken, depending which shard you played on the boot time was different, right?

I was on Great Lakes or Pacific, or one of the others I can't remember the name of, and it was at 11pm et I believe.

Anyways, it was just a thought. I know we have a lot of european and asian players here so maybe it really wouldn't work that great. And I could see how a year ago when there was just 50 players on people would see it as nothing more than an annoyance, but now I think it could really be enjoyable.

That's just me, I dont know what other people think. Perhaps the topic is open for debate or a poll Derrick?

If not, no biggie.

I loved server time when I played OSI, my best t2a experiences came during it.

Maybe have a 30-60 minute time warp one day a week?
